Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The journey ends here

Everything has come to a halt

The journey ends here

Everything has come to a halt

Every traveler in the past

Reluctantly says goodbye

A fleeting, secret crush

I heard you didn't know either

How in this lifetime

So many wishes remain unfulfilled

Her: His eyes

Are filled with stories

His eyes

Are filled with stories

Within those eyes

Unintentionally, they capture your heart

Even if we

Can see each other every day

We still can't unravel the confusion in our hearts

Him: How much heartache

I'm willing to wait for you

Loving you like a great hero

Pouring out all my earnest feelings

Without hesitation

Even if it's filled with regret

To miss you and not be willing to become strangers

Her: A lifetime of unrequited love

Love never truly touched my heart

Every trip with you

Was a silent affection

Repeated fantasies

Turned out to be just a dream

And from here, we finally part ways

Him: The journey ends here

Everything has come to a halt

The journey ends here

Everything has come to a halt

Every traveler in the past

Reluctantly says goodbye

A fleeting, secret crush

I heard you didn't know either

How in this lifetime

So many wishes remain unfulfilled

Her: Knowing it's painful

I'm still willing to wait for you

Loving you like a great hero

Pouring out all my earnest feelings

Even if it's cruel

Even if it's filled with regret

To miss you and not be willing to become strangers

Him: Still a lifetime of unrequited love

Love never truly touched my heart

Every trip with you

Was a silent affection

Both: Repeated fantasies

Turned out to be just a dream

And from here, we finally part ways

[Chinese]

男：终点到此

一切已然终止

终点到此

一切已然终止

过往每个旅人

又惜别不依

匆匆暗恋

听说你也不知

怎么此生

这么多不如愿

女：他的眼中

写到满是故事

他的眼中

写到满是故事

这个眼眸里

无意叫人心牵

即使每天

都可跟你相见

都解不开心中的迷乱

男：几多痛心

也为你愿去等

爱你似个伟人

诉尽苦心

不惜残忍

纵是多么悔恨

错过又不甘变路人

女：苦恋半生

爱情未曾上心

与你每个旅行

都是侧隐

重复的幻想

不过如梦一场

你我由此终到散场

男：终点到此

一切已然终止

终点到此

一切已然终止

过往每个旅人

又惜别不依

匆匆暗恋

听说你也不知

怎么此生

这么多不如愿

女：明知很痛心

也愿去为你等

爱你似个伟人

诉尽苦心

尽管多残忍

纵是多么悔恨

错过又不甘变路人

男：仍苦恋半生

爱情未曾上心

与你每个旅行

都是侧隐

合：重复的幻想

不过如梦一场

你我由此终到散场
